Illustrated story videos, one painted scene a page

A full painted scene for every page of a story, with the page's title lettered into it, drawn in as it is told. Write it the way a story is told aloud - people, places, what happens next - and it becomes a picture book that reads itself.

Each page's title is lettered into its picture.
A narrator reads it, in the language and voice you choose.

From a line of text to a Illustrated Story video

1
Choose a style
Pick how the video should look: a hand-drawn whiteboard, a real-footage documentary, an AI presenter, a vertical short. Every style shows a sample before you choose it.
2
Say what it is about
One line is enough - the script is written for you. Or paste your own script, upload your own voice recording, or bring your own footage or links, depending on the style.
3
Check the script and the credits
Read the script, change any line, pick the language and the narrator. You see exactly what the video takes before anything is made.
